I made this quilt top from this month's Quilters world mag. Measures 60x60...I had the idea of making it for my DH who is 6 ft plus.. Now it seems short. Would it make sense to add two rows so it becomes 60x84? I have extra fabric in my stash. Just need someone else's opinion.

I, too, have a tall man in my home. I'd add the two rows, that way he can cover his toes!

Yes, make it longer!

I have tall men and they like them longer for toe covering (smile). Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely! Tall guys need their toes covered too!

Yes, I'd say make it longer....

My husband is shorter than me so we don't have this problem:). I would definitely make it longer....looks great by the way...very man-caveish (not sure that is a word but you know what I mean)

I love your throw. I made my husband's quilt two rows longer....it was just right!

One row longer and the borders should do it. He's not likely to cover his head. Your choice of fabrics is wonderful. I really like the brown swirled one..

Definitely make it longer. 60" is only 5', so he would need the extra length. I love your fabrics! Great quilt!
